Livestock offers Northeast Louisiana farmers an excellent means of supplementing income from cotton, farmers attending the annual field days at the experiment station here were told today. C. B. Haddon, superintendent of the station, said that more than 400 pounds of beef per acre has already been produced on one pasture plot In experiments this year. "That amount of beef is about equal in value to a bale of cotton," Haddon said, "and the cattle still have two more months of grazing this year.

Furthermore, all we did was establish the pasture and put the cattle on it. They 'cultivated' and harvested the bale' themselves." Corn and soybeans hogged off returned more than cotton in experiments conducted at the station last fear, Dr. C. I. Braf and A.

D. Fitzgerald, both of LSU, told the visiting farmers. They said that one field of corn that yielded 98 bushels on acre produced 1380 pounds of pork an acre two years and I ni anxious for them to continue their work in music. Thanking you I remain Sincerely yours, MRS. W.

"I'll work on it next week," Evy would vow.

But next week was always the same. Except that Curt Harper sort of faded out. Sometimes Evy and Bill would want to go to a movie. Kathy invited herself along and sat on the other side of Bill. Mamma always said to Evy.

Our first Farm Bureau barbecue was held Friday, August 30th, at Delhi. We were pleased to have such a good turnout of our members; however, we wish it had been possible for each member and their family to attend and hear the informative addresses which those who were present enjoyed.

Mayor Farmer of Delhi opened the program by extending a hearty welcome to the members and making some inspirational comments on farm organization. Next on the program was Rudolph Elkins, president of the Richland Parish Farmers' Co-op, who gave the progress of the recently organized co-op. Mr. Elkina pointed out that the farmers' co-op is being sponsored by the members of the Farm Bureau for the purpose of offering to the farmers of this parish some services which are not now available. Mr.

Elkina urged ail members to take advantage of the plan to become members of the farmers' Mr. T. H. Scott, president of the Louisiana Delta Council, made a very interesting talk on the organization and objectives of the Delta Council. He brought out the fact that the Delta Council is endeavoring to develop the push you around.

The Richland Parish School Board The program of the Rayville Kl-wanis Club last Tuesday was In charge of the agricultural committee, with Nolan Pipes presenting the guest speaker, Mr. W. C.

Cobb, beef cattle specialist of the Louisiana Extension Department. Mr. Cobb's talk was one of the best practical presentations of what the beef cattle industry is doing to revive and improve agricultural conditions in Louisiana, that was ever heard in Rayville. He stated that Louisiana Is inNthe midst of a transformation, or revolution. In agriculture and stock-raising.

"Cotton is not the despot It used to be," he said. With mechanized machinery this crop has ceased to enslave the people as it once did. The greatest benefit farmers are deriving from the new order of things, however, he attributed to the successful cattle raising program. Me gave a brief, but highly interesting history of the cattle industry in Louisiana, and particularly with relation to beef cattle. He gave facts and figures that were amazing to those not versed in the progress made along these lines, such as today Louisiana receives more income from beef and dairy cattle than from cotton.

The need of pastures was stressed, and the kind of pastures made the kind of cattle produced. Instead, of fighting grasses and trying to destroy them, he showed where they could be made profitable converted into beef, a good revenue realized and the fertility of the soil Improved at the same time. All may be done, he stated, with so much less labor and outlay. He characterized cattle raising as safest and soundest crop we have. Mr.

Mr. Scott pointed out that the ultimate aim of this program was to place more non-cultivable land into production, and increase diversification, thereby raising the standard of living of the farmer. The final speaker, Mr. Malcolm Dougherty, president of the State Farm Bureau, who brought out very forcefully the work of the Farm Bureau during the legislative session at Baton Rouge and Washington. Mr.

Dougherty pointed out the effective work by the Farm Bureau in having the long-range farm bill brought out of the committee and passed on the last day of the session after it had been pigeon-holed by its opponents. Thi3 bill provides support price at 924 of parity for cotton through 1949. After 1949 a revised parity formula will apply. He also read the long list of bills supported by the Farm Bureau of interest to farmers which were passed by the last session of the state legislature.
